Outdoor ceremonial scene at dusk before a wooden door with a brick wall behind. A bearded man in a crown and brown-red dhoti, with a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, stands on a striped mat at the steps. Two attendants in saffron-orange cloth hold a tall gold staff and a pink-and-gold umbrella overhead; one kneels at his feet offering a worship or foot-honouring gesture. Another attendant in a green-and-gold sari holds a decorated kalasha topped with green leaves. A man in white dhoti with folded hands stands at left. Onlookers in white and a few with folded hands line the steps and potted plants at right, with a small information board on the wall behind.

Attendants around him wear orange cloth and garlands, one in white dhoti with hands folded in namaste, and another holding a tall gold-tipped staff. Pink and red umbrellas are held overhead, and several white-clad devotees stand behind with hands folded. A potted plant and a brick-walled building with a carved wooden door frame form the setting. The central man's appearance is consistent with a person based on his ornate gold jewellery, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style adornments, and he is receiving the offering in a ceremonial welcome.2017-03-13January 01 20172017-01-01
